visited Viterbo many years ago. The monuments, like the famous and unmistakable Loggia of the Papal Palace, were gray from bus soot. I took a picture anyway--with a film camera. Digital was a dream of the future.
I recently returned to a glistening city in the digital era. We had rented an apartment in a medieval tower above a small but important museum of Viterbo's big festival, La Macchina di Santa Rosa, in which 100 men called “Facchini di Santa Rosa” (porters of Saint Rose) carry the 30-meter-high tower weighing 5 tons through the medieval streets on September 3rd.
